Pre- to post-fledging carryover effects and the post-fledging ecology of the Dickcissel (Spiza americana)
… with emphasis on pre- to post-fledging carryover effects of nestling traits and fledgling habitat use. Specifically, I sought to address the following questions: (1) Do body condition and wing development at fledging predict juvenile survival during the post-fledging period? (2) What is …

Age-specific mortality, pre- to post-fledging carryover effects, and the timing of fledging in altricial songbirds
… to (1) test for potential pre- to post-fledging carryover effects under a morphology-performance-fitness paradigm; (2) evaluate nesting and post-fledging survival rates to provide a greater understanding as to when and why juvenile songbirds leave the nest; and (3) determine if carryover effects …

Effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on plant growth, symbiotic function and concentration of metabolites in legumes and an assessment of F1 generation for carryover effects
… and below-ambient levels, and assessed for its effects on plant growth, symbiotic function and root concentration of metabolites.

Understanding the spring migration ecology of Sora and Virginia Rail in central Illinois: a study utiilizing automated telemetry
… stopover sites are needed to alleviate potential carryover effects that could affect survival, especially during spring when breeding success could be impacted. Therefore, it is important to understand the migratory behavior and connectivity of rails to assess conservation priorities. We banded …

Disturbance and Environmental Effects on Staging Roseate Tern Parent-Offspring Interactions and Hatch Year Survival at Cape Cod National Seashore
… strategy to minimize the potential for negative carryover effects on survival should limit ROST exposure to disturbance, particularly human activities, by exclosing staging sites between mid-July–mid-September to encompass the period of time when the highest number of ROST use CCNS.

Question-order effects in market research: An information processing approach
… survey. The mechanisms which underlie such effects for respondents varying in product category knowledge are described using an information processing perspective. Two studies were conducted, including a laboratory experiment about an unfamiliar bicycle brand, and a telephone survey about …

Effects of clay supplementation on rumen environment, metabolism, inflammation, and performance in dairy cows
… has their own properties. Clay supplementation effects on rumen, metabolism, and performance have been considered individually among studies. Our objective was to determine the effects of 3 percentages of dietary clay (EcoMix®) supplementation after two different challenges. Challenge one was to …

Alcohol consumption, cognitive functioning and sober mood in women and men college students
… researchers are questioning not only the acute effects of alcohol but also possible "carryover effects" on sober social drinkers. We are well acquainted with the idea of skid-row alcoholics who have lost everything, including their memory. That long term drinking is associated with cognitive …

Hemodynamic outcomes of weaning intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in heart failure
… of this study was to determine the hemodynamic effects of two patterns of weaning IABC in an animal model of heart failure. A repeated measures crossover design was used to test the hypothesis that there were different weaning outcomes for the two weaning patterns in IABC: assist rate reduction …

EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROVISION OF FUNCTIONAL AMINO ACIDS TO ENHANCE ROBUSTNESS IN ENTERIC CHALLENGED PIGS
… (Met) and Tryptophan (Trp). The beneficial effects of FAA supplementation may be more advantageous in susceptible categories such as low birth weight (LBW) pigs. Therefore, this thesis evaluated the independent effect of FAA supplementation in Salmonella Typhimurium (ST)-challenged pigs and …

Influence of gene dispersal and environmental heterogeneity on spatial and genetic patterns of the understory herb Heliconia acuminata across a fragmented landscape in central Amazon, Brazil
… of seedlings and adults, which may indicate carryover effects of seedlings on recruits over time. Carbon is negatively associated with adults, which may be evidence of competition with large dominant trees. I finally propose a new mechanistic framework to the studies of frugivore - mediated …

The immediate effects of rhythmic arm swing and finger tapping exercises on gait of Parkinson's patients
This study investigated the immediate effects of a rhythmic arm swing exercise vs. a rhythmic finger tapping exercise on gait parameters of individuals in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). The study design was a randomized control trial involving three experimental conditions: control …

Phenotypic Plasticity in Economically and Ecologically Important Bivalves in Response to Changing Environments
… degrees of phenotypic plasticity and parental carryover will have the potential to improve bivalve’s fitness and tolerance as climate change progresses. My goal is to evaluate plastic capacity by taking a multi-method approach to assessing the physiological metrics of several important bivalve …
